“I came to believe that the only effective way to address our society’s long term issue of white supremacy was through a 12 Step lens. Each of us must take responsibility for this issue, one day at a time, one step at a time.”
— Rev. David Alexander, Project Visionary
Who is this for?
Every one. We have all been infected and affected by the lie called whiteness. It has been a deeply engrained idea built into our nation’s collective consciousness.
Our hope is that as people discover this body of work, they will see the transformative impact that this approach can have. Whether we know it or not, the standards of whiteness have affected the way we see, judge, measure and evaluate the world, and its not working.
Whatever drew you to this site - we hope that you take the time to consider how the lie of whiteness has affected you. Further, we have come to believe that this body of work can be of immense value to your journey of liberation. We understand that none of us are free, until all of us are free. Together, one step and one day at a time, we can change the world.
